New proposals will extend availability of Start-Up and student loans to make them consistent with Islamic financial principles.
The proposals, announced by the Prime Minister at his annual Eid
al-Adha reception, will benefit aspiring Muslim entrepreneurs and
students who may be deterred from starting their own business or
entering higher education due to their religious financial beliefs.
The proposals will see the schemes becoming more accessible to anyone
who adopts similar financial principles–not just Muslims. And anyone
taking the loans will not be at any advantage or disadvantage–they will
repay the same amount as other borrowers.Speaking at the reception, the Prime Minister said:

I want Britain to be one of the world’s centres of
Islamic finance–from the highest and mightiest financial institutions
all the way to start-ups. We’ve got tens of thousands of young people
starting their own businesses and tonight I can announce that we will
make sure that there is a type of Start-Up Loan that is totally
consistent with all the principles of Islamic finance. We must do that
for Start-Up Loans, we must do that for student loans and we must do it for the Enterprise Allowance. That’s what a welcoming, tolerant, multi-racial country does.

The Prime Minister made the announcement to members of the Muslim community as they celebrated the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha at
Downing Street. They were joined by senior government ministers,
including Baroness Warsi, imams, community and business leaders,
charities and public servants from across the diverse range of Muslim
communities in the UK.
Praising the Muslim community for their contribution to Britain, the Prime Minister said:

Tonight is about celebrating the contribution that
British Muslims make to our country. It is a huge contribution. But
tonight is also an opportunity to talk about the issues of integration,
of how we help Muslims around the world and the importance of faith in
our country and in our communities and the Muslim faith is so strong in
that.

Talking about the UK’s role in supporting Muslims and other people in need around the world, the Prime Minister added:

I’m proud of the that fact that even in difficult
economic times this country is one of the few countries in the world
that has kept its promise on aid and development–meeting that 0.7% target of
our gross national income. A lot of that money goes to some of the most
challenged Islamic countries in the world. It is something that we can
all be proud of that every 2 seconds a child is vaccinated somewhere in
the world because of aid that British tax payers have provided.

This 'man' is a particularly sick individual and will reap what he sows. This is the same sick individual who praised the 'religion of peace' only one day after Lee Rigby was buried and at the start of the ramadan bombathon which killed more than 100, 000 people worldwide, in the name of their vile 'religion'.Yesterday a young Ukrainian man was jailed for 40 years for setting off three small explosions and eliminating an elderly muslim, FORTY YEARS!!! The dozens of pedophile rape gangs and would be suicide bombers languishing in UK prisons have never been given even a fraction of this time behind bars! Two tier legal system in plain view.Personally I believe that this extremely brave young man should have been given a medal for his services to the British people. If he was a Jihadi, he would have mosques named after him. Don't figure does it?
